Their First Session | Cyberpunk Red Stories

As requested, the Cyberpunk Red game from my group of new players last Saturday! Now for the record, this is made via TaleSpire. The game itself took place inside of Foundry VTT. The models are not direct copies of the player character's appearances. I am just using TaleSpire to help tell the story.
The focus of this video should be purely on the audio, as recreating it exactly on screen as it happened would have taken quite a while. This is meant to be quick and to give an idea of what's going down, just so it can be followed. And as always all relevant links and credit are located below.
This was done with a burnt tongue, coffee teetering on the edge, and pure memory. I always felt that no script for stories like this feel the best!
But anyway, I hope this satiates curiosity about Cyberpunk Red and how games can play out. Also, yes in the end only 2 players were in combat, and I was actively tweaking the encounter so that they would not be completely swarmed. Their next game is going to be dealing with the leftover NCPD and hopefully...getting paid.
I'm not expecting this video to be popular, it's really me just telling the story of last week. The roughness is intentional, I am wanting this to be close to if you are sitting down with me as I tell this story. Clean cuts are for the Rundown videos after all! I'll see you all in the next Cyberpunk Sitdown!
And if anyone wonders about the rolls, I actually do public rolls visible to my players. I'm a GM that enjoys seeing where the story goes. The amount of fight that single NCPD officer had in him is legendary. The 10s. Those damn 10s.

And I also want to do something here too, I actually would like to shout out to my players and allow them the chance to talk here too in this pinned comment's replies. If comfortable, feel free to share you viewpoints and reasonings. Hell, share moments from the game I didn't even mention or forgot to! But yeah, this is nothing without my players. Never will be.

2 of 4 players don't commit to a full session, with one not even showing up at all. Painfully authentic TTRPG experience. I understand that life gets in the way, though. Glad to see Talespire being used. Recently got it myself to use in my games, and I'm excited to see its progress.

Totally Preem

This was honestly amazing and I hope you do more session recaps like this.
-
I don't think I will ever experience this since I don't know enough proper roleplayers and have rarely roleplayed myself. Please, upload more summary videos about these guys continued adventures in Red, I am mesmerized.

This is great. I've been wanting cyberpunk red content since just before 2077 release (it was foreign to me prior) but aside from the short promo session with the creator, couldn't find much. This is great content. Especially since it's a condensed version and addresses the issue of watching actual plays. I love APs but sometimes the fumbling takes away from my enjoyment. This is like watching a movie rehearsed show but still with the benefits of improve!

i had no clue cyberpunk red existed until I saw your videos, it looks sick
-
I subscribed for the game updates but seeing this got me hyped always wanted to see someone do this Or experience it myself😅 keep up the good work bro
-

-
Loved this!
-
Loved seeing TaleSpire used to illustrate the story! Your group is lucky!
-
I'd love to hear more stories

This video showcases talespire very nicely for cyberpunk red, thanks a lot! I think I'll give it a go. I'll buy it as a GM and stream my screen to my players so they won't have to commit to buying the software, only if they want to move their tokens in the future. Are the cyberpunk assets included or is it an additional dlc? Is it possible to find pre-made maps?

Heya, I'm the guy who made Neon Macadam - the map you're playing on - with my friend Scarnor 😄 don't hesitate to hit me up :p
-
id love to watch the full game as you play and also how do you guys keep track of the Caracter sheets and so on i play dnd on talespire and use dnd beyond but there is no cyberpunk beyond
-
I’ve been trying to get my group going but there not really putting any effort in to doing anything like majority of them haven’t even started making the characters yet
-
Thanks for the great insight! Did you prepare a Netarchitecture for your runner when he jacked in or did you improvise that as well? How did it look like? I have trouble improing architectures as to how or even if theyd be ICEed or what to find. :)
-
This looks so fun! I never got a group together for DnD 5e so I doubt Ill ever get to play Cyberpunk ttrpg lol Is talespire the 3d map tool? It looks amazing
-
